During the quality check earlier on, the government said that there were many corporate products haven't been contaminated by melamine, how come it now states that melamine is inevitable? If it is really inevitable, how come so many corporates achieve zero melamine before?

Isn't it contradictory?

Let's take a step backward. If melamine can enter the food product through the industrial environment and packaging process, how come it is illegal for milk farmers to add melamine while other forms of contamination become legal? If there is something wrong with the production environment, deal with it, if there is something wrong with the packaging, deal with it. This is the right way to solve the problem.

If industrial chemicals can enter the food product with legitimation, how can we have the confidence to buy food product? Do we have to sacrifice our body and health for a rich material life and development? We need a high morality in food industry, not a greedy heart.

这条新闻太好笑啦。我想问问这些国家机关：莫非这也是国际惯例么？还是中国特色？！

This news is too hilarious, I want to ask the ministries, is this really international practice? or it is Chinese way of handling thing?

In order to make this call more effective, I strongly suggest that chief officials of the ministries should drink the melamine milk in front of the daily CCTV news and announce the product package number to the public everyday.

They should stand in the front!

However Quick Sword pointed out that 2.5mg/kg is an international standard:

The issue of melamine should become a negotiation, we should start from “zero”. Only with this attitude, the government should genuinely be responsible to the consumer and give the milk industry a future.
